Curiosity has afforded me opportunities to work at large organizations, with start-ups and in academia. Because of this varied career path, I became a Data Scientist with expertise in quantitative modeling and experience of building products, growing people and making data-informed decisions. Currently, I am working as a Research Associate at TU Hamburg, Germany, conducting research as member of both the Entrepreneurship & Data Science groups to guarantee a wide berth of knowledge about all areas. But now it is time for the next logical step in my career.

I am looking for a position where I can use the skills that I have developed during my years in practice and academia to engage your sales force and increase productivity and international sales. As a (Senior) Data Analyst / Scientist at your company, I would be able to leverage my experience in teaching and applying data-driven techniques and would be able to solve the problems I most enjoy working on.
